I am currently > developing in Windows and it seems a dll and exe can fix that up but am > wondering about Linus as the code will eventually run in Fargate on AWS. > *Why do I need external dependencies and not pure java?* > The thing really is how utterly complex all this is. I would like to create > an avro file and convert it to Parquet and write it to S3, but I am trapped > in "ParquetWriter" hell! > *Why can't I get a normal OutputStream and write it wherever I want?* > I have scoured the web for examples and there are a few but we really need > some documentation on this stuff. I understand that there may be reasons for > all this but I can't find them on the web anywhere. Any help?
